It *was* brought up in ubuntu-art. This discussion has already made the rounds there, see this post: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-October/008079.html
The final reply was: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-October/008089.html To quote from that message: "We aren't the official art team, that is left to Canonical and their team of professional artists. We work on community themes and wallpapers, and if Mark likes one of our themes, he will use it." In other words, it's still a community mailing list, with no real link to the actual Art Team. Speaking of community themes and wallpapers, there are many excellent examples in the Artwork wiki. NewHuman and Dust are current theme favorites, but I would understand if Ubuntu wouldn't want to use dark menus for the default theme. Even so, this bug isn't even about the theme (although a lot of people were let down that there was no new theme included), but the wallpaper, and numerous other wallpapers have been pointed out in this thread alone. This discussion has made the rounds at the Ubuntu Forums several times as well. Someone at the forums said it was unproductive to complain there, since the devs don't usually read the forums; that's why I think this bug exists. If there's a *more* appropriate venue for these concerns, do tell. (Oh yeah, and just so there's no confusion: I think the current Ibex wallpaper is , to put it bluntly, ugly. My first reaction to seeing it was "eurgh". I'm pretty sure I've never had that sort of reaction to previous Ubuntu wallpapers. Even a "meh" sort of reaction would be an improvement.) -- New default Intrepid wallpaper is green https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
